Chapter 13: The Hunger Games and Issac
⚠️ SPOILERS FOR THE HUNGER GAMES⚠️
Once supper rolls around it's a gone show. The Gladers are talking and screaming like usual but this time they seem more laid back and happy.
I hand out the drinks like usual then ones I'm finished with that I go to my old room.
"Ok. Newt wants a sweater.. I got his measurements earlier.."
I grab my roll of dark green will and start the crochet process. After about an hour of it someone knocks on my door.
"Vi?" It's Newt's voice.
"Yeah?"
"Can I come in? They sent up another box for you"
"Yes. Come in"
He walks into what once was his room. It's now covered in fabrics, string and other random stuff.
"Here's your box" he puts it down beside the old one.
"Thanks Newt." I smile.
"I'd stay but unfortunately I have to go back with the Gladers."
"Ok. See you around" I smile. He turns on his heel and walks out.
I climb out of my bed and check the crate inside has clothes, hygiene products and at the bottom is a book.
The Hunger Games
"Ooh.. A book.." I pick it up and look it over. It looks like a normal book.
I climb back on my bed and read until I fall asleep.
~•★•~
"Wake up Vivian" Newt's voice says.
"Ugh" I attempt to pick up my pillow and hit his head.
Newt laughs. "Nice try Love." He takes the pillow from under my head.
"Hey!" I yelp shooting up. "Not cool"
"I know." He smiles. "Time to get ready"
"Ugh" I say again getting out of bed with a stretch. "I got a book in my box."
Newt raises his eyebrows. "A book?"
I grab the book from off the chair and hand it to him.
"Hunger Games" he looks up at me. "What's that?"
"It's where 2 kids from district 1-12 are sent into an arena to fight to the death till one remains"
"Fun" Newt replys handing my book back to me.
"Yeah. I'm on about chapter 11" I smile.
"You got it yesterday and your on chapter 11?" He asks.
"Yeah, I stayed up wayyy to late last night" I grin. "Yet somehow I still have energy!"
Newt sighs. "Let's go"
We walk into the kitchen.
"Hello Vi, Hello Newt" Frypan says. "We have everything we need for know so you get the day off"
"Really?" I say grinning.
"Yeah go have fun" Fry says.
"Ok!" I waddle back out of the kitchen with Newt at my heel.
"So what are you going to do today?" He asks watching me from the doorway.
"This!" I grab The Hunger Games turning to look at him.
"All day?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
"Sir they are legit about to start the actual games. So yes I will be." I tell him grabbing one of the blankets I made in my spare time. It's a patch quilt with red flower, white flower and grey patch work.
"Did you make that?" Newt asks.
"What this?" I ask holding up the quilt.
"Yeah why?"
"It's really good" he says.
"Thank you" I smile. "Now please leave me to read."
"Yes ma'am" he leaves as I walk out to the middle of the forest and lay my blanket down.
I sit down. "This was a bad idea as I will probably never get up"
I open the book and read. It consists of.
You didn't!
What!
No!
Wait what?
NOOOOOO!!!
"Ok I think I'm done reading today" I say closing the book. "Wait what was that song?"
I open the book back up to the scene right after poor Rue died.
Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow
Lay down your head
And close your eyes
And when they open
The sun will rise
Here it's safe
Here it's warm
Here the daisies guard
You from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet
And tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place
Where I love you
I hum those lyrics. Soon after Bean starts to kick.
"You like that do you?" I ask. Another kick. So I open the book with my right hand and lay the left on my abdomen.
"Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow
Lay down your head
And close your eyes
And when they open
The sun will rise
Here it's safe
Here it's warm
Here the daisies guard
You from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet
And tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place
Where I love you"
I sing the song on repeat for awhile. After awhile of sitting singing I stand up and walk around the woods.
"Hey look at that" I say stopping the song looking over at a small lizard. I walk closer. "What are you?"
The lizard comes closer so I scoop him up to inspect it. "Your a Newt! I have to show Newt!"
I waddle out of the forest holding the Newt in my hand.
"Newt! Newt! Newt!" I call.
The human Newt runs over. "What? What's the matter?"
"I found your twin!" I uncup my hands to reveal the lizard. "It's you!.. Except a lizard and not human"
Human Newt looks down at his twin. "Well hello there"
I smile. "This is your twin Issac"
"Issac?" Human Newt asks looking up at me.
"Yes this is Issac the Newt. And your Newt the.." I stop my sentence to think. "You can't be Newt the Issac.."
"I can be Newt the human?" Newt suggests.
"I guess but that wouldn't be the same!" I say. "Ya know?"
"Yeah?" Newt says is a bit of a questioning tone. "What are you going to do with Issac now?"
"Um.. That's a good question. Probably put him back where I found him." I say.
"You do that alright I have to get back to work" Newt says.
"Ok" I say cupping my hands around Issac again. I walk back to where I found Issac. "Goodbye Issac"
Issac scurries away faster then light when I put him down.
I walk back to my little reading knook and grab my book and blanket heading back to my room.
